What a chess clash between the two currently most hating players #HansNiemann and #MagnusCarlsen. Cannot stop watching their faces while battling. Wonderful live commentary by #SagarShah 👌

🎥 Heartbreaking Moment at World Blitz

A video of 55-year-old chess legend Vassily Ivanchuk's emotional reaction to his defeat at the World Blitz Championship has gone viral. He failed to make a move with just one second left, leading to a heartbreaking loss.

I see Sutovsky has gone ballistic re the end of the #chess #WorldBlitz and seems hellbent on nailing Magnus. Still no word about why #FIDE can't write rules that prevent chaos despite decades of practice. Nor how to overrule the president. Nor why nations could split gold in their online Olympiad?

Not completely sure how well this #chess #WorldBlitz thought aged...

I'm in the #TakeTakeTake studio, and we've got a NYE mood music band for the #chess #WorldBlitz final.

8-player bracket for today's World Blitz Chess Championship: Nepo vs. Murzin, So vs. Firouzja, Caruana vs. Duda, and Carlsen vs. Niemann.

Time to make #chess #WorldBlitz predictions ahead of today's knockout. I'm taking Murzin, Firouzja, Duda, Carlsen. Then Firouzja, Carlsen. And Firouzja to take the upset.

If I were an experienced video commentator, the total technical failure of info relay during yesterday's #WorldBlitz #chess championship would have completely panicked me. Instead it felt like trying to explain games from a partial side view of the board was normal...

వైశాలి #WorldBlitz ఫైనల్స్‌కి అర్హత సాధించింది!

రష్యా క్రీడాకారిణి కాటెరినా లగ్నో 8.5 పాయింట్లతో వైశాలికి దగ్గరగా ఉంది.
మిగిలిన ఆరు క్వాలిఫైయర్లు ఒక్కొక్కరు 8 పాయింట్లతో ముగించారు.

From a field of 188, only the top 8 qualify for the knockouts. Daniel Naroditsky, super unlucky to finish in 9th, despite an equal score with first place.
